Walt Whitman: Paumanok

Paumanok

Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking!One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce, steamers, sails,And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle—mighty hulls dark-gliding in the distance.Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water—healthy air and soil!Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!
